Holy Order

by Michael D Nalley   Aug 2, 2005


O Lord, we pray sincerely for Your holy order
May the leaders of the holy church, be the warder
Of the peace of Jesus Christ from border to border
That the "Mystical Body of Christ "be our rewarder

As the words of the Father were given to the Son
We pray, Thy kingdom come, Thy mighty will be done
O Lord, let the Fire fall, and make us one
As we sing a song of love in unison

Have we surrendered to the will of God, or are we still acting like the boss?
It is said by many that the church was born when He died upon the cross
Saint Peter no longer denied Him after he saw this terrible loss
But every time he thought about the cock crowing he would turn and toss

I don't mean to disrespect authority to any degree
I just thought telling the truth in this order could make us see
How important Holy Orders really can be
What are we to do when two authorities disagree?

We must act with humility and meekness, with patience, bearing with one another in love
Walk in a manner worthy of our calling, careful to preserve the unity of the Spirit of the Dove
One Lord, one faith, one baptism one body, and one Spirit, one God the Father of all, Who is above
To lead us to the most beautiful holy order in the universal church that I am speaking of
